Chapter 164: Encounter with a ghost

Gossip about the Cui family. Xiaoru didn't pay much attention, it's not that she wasn't curious, but there were a lot of things in the laboratory, she usually had to respond to her mother-in-law's call, care about her son, be considerate of her husband, and have to respond to Wang Meng's woman's curiosity from time to time.

After the death of his wife, Master Cui accepted two concubines, one Aunt Wang, and one Aunt Sun, this Aunt Wang was born in the family, and she followed Master Cui when she was young. Aunt Sun's appearance is relatively poor, I have to say, people are a sensory animal, you are beautiful, men will naturally like more, so after the death of the original wife, the favored Aunt Wang began to take care of the house.

However, Aunt Wang's maid was born, she couldn't read big characters, and no one taught her how to take care of the house when she was young, and it didn't take long for the Cui family's backyard to be a mess, and the old lady of the Cui family looked at it, although the Cui family was not a wealthy family, and the scholarly family, but there was no reason to let a concubine housekeeper, and felt that her son could not become a daughter-in-law, so she wanted to give her son another daughter-in-law, but this old lady was more precious to her grandson, and felt that if Xiaojun had a powerful stepmother, she would definitely be sad that day, thinking about it, remembered that Master Cui's original wife and sister-in-law had also reached the age of talking about marriage, before my sister got married. The relationship with my sister Qiu Niang is the best at home, the two sisters have always loved each other, after knowing the news of my sister's death, the sister was also sad and seriously ill, when she came to mourn, she was holding her nephew and did not let go, it seemed that she really felt sorry for this child, Mrs. Cui thought about it, this is not a ready-made candidate, and immediately invited the matchmaker to say goodbye.

Besides, Qiu Niang, knowing that her brother-in-law's family sent someone to kiss, thought about it left and right, and still couldn't rest assured that her sister's only blood and blood, and her brother-in-law's family also knew the roots, otherwise my sister wouldn't have married at the beginning, she was the daughter of a concubine, and anyway, she couldn't escape the life of being a child or a stepfamily in the future. Not for anything else, just for the nephew not to be bullied in the future, she also had to marry, both families agreed, so they chose the auspicious day of the zodiac, and Qiu Niang got married like this.

Qiu Niang used to be at home, because her mother went early, she was raised by her mother, although the mother was not as good to her sister as she was, but she also learned with her sister, plus she had a good temperament, to the Cui family, filial piety to her mother-in-law, took good care of her husband, and loved Xiaojun even more, and took care of the family up and down well, her mother-in-law was naturally satisfied, and within a few months, she handed over the power of the housekeeper to her daughter-in-law, and Aunt Wang didn't say anything at first, after all, the lord has a serious lady, It's not appropriate to let a concubine housekeeper again, but since she became pregnant and gave birth to the second son of the Cui family, Aunt Wang couldn't sit still. I want to fight for my son.

However, Master Cui is also self-made, he has bought such a big family business by himself, and he is not those second ancestors, how can he not see that his concubine room is a little fancy, but for the sake of Aunt Wang who has been with him for so many years, Master Cui also turns a blind eye, as long as she is not excessive, he will go with her, and Qiu Niang did not put Aunt Wang in her eyes, no matter how she said it, she is also the wife that Master Cui is marrying, even if it is a stepfamily, it is not that Aunt Wang can cross over.

Later, Master Cui saw that Aunt Wang's small movements were getting bigger and bigger, and he also wanted to put her mother's brother into the account room, and several daughters-in-law and cook maids in the family also let her bribe and buy a lot, and complained to himself that the things in the room were old and the money was missing.

Master Cui became more and more impatient, and felt that this favorite concubine was too unreasonable, so he opened his mouth to take her son to Qiu Niang's house to raise. It can be regarded as a lesson to Aunt Wang, let her restrain a little, and although Qiu Niang is unwilling to raise a son for others, she raises and loves Xiaojun, that is for her sister, what is it to raise a concubine's son, and let a concubine's son improve his status, maybe this kid will have a big heart in the future, and it will bring trouble to Xiaojun...... However, Aunt Wang's child is nearly ten years younger than Xiaojun, so she shouldn't be able to jump. If Xiaojun is able to handle it properly in the future, it would be good to have a younger brother with good feelings as a helper, anyway, there is a nurse to take care of her, and she doesn't need to bother, so she will obey her husband's wishes.

That Aunt Wang is a shallow eyelid, as soon as she heard that her son couldn't be kept by her side, she cried and howled around, or the old lady of the Cui family asked for a family law and taught her a lesson, so she was born in peace temporarily.

Xiaoru listened to the gossip of the Cui family while drinking tea, after the Cui family went back a few days ago, Xiaoru did not pay special attention to the follow-up exhibition of their family, whether the little rabbit drank Master Cui's medicine and couldn't stand the medicine to death, or Aunt Wang was talking nonsense, this is not sure, after all, even if it is Xiaoru, such a trivial matter, she doesn't bother to listen, and it is impossible to know, however, Aunt Wang's sin of stirring up right and wrong is inevitable, and within a few days, I heard that an aunt of the Cui family has unclean hands and feet, and originally wanted to sell it, but for the sake of her giving birth to a son to the Cui family, she was only confined in the courtyard to let her eat fast and recite Buddha.

"Daughter-in-law, let me tell you...... Ding Feng and I met a ghost yesterday......"

Xiao Ru was thinking wildly, and was startled by what Lou Yi deliberately lowered his voice to say, but his face was not obvious, he only looked up lazily and glared at his father-in-law, and said with a smile: "Xianggong, didn't you go to General Zhao's house yesterday to give the old man a birthday gift?" Where to go to the ghost! "General Zhao's family are all tiger generals who came out of the battlefield, and even a woman can make a few strokes of a knife and gun, which lonely soul should be approached?

Lou Yi stretched. Sitting down next to his daughter-in-law, lying comfortably on a deck chair made of rattan, the balcony was lush with flowers and trees, Lou Yi was a nest here, and suddenly felt that there was a refreshing smell of plants floating around him, and the fatigue on his face dissipated a little, and he wiped his face and continued: "Daughter-in-law, what am I lying to you about, yesterday Ding Feng and I went to the ancestral house of the Zhao family to give General Zhao a birthday gift, and as a result, I was pulled by Zhao Ting's kid to drink, and I drank a little too much. Feng Xiang's inn rested for a night, but never thought, that night, the innkeeper's son met a ghost, I heard that it was still a female ghost, the young man was so frightened that he lost his soul, screamed in the middle of the night, the whole person lost his mind, jumped and jumped in the yard, and made a noise to jump into the well, the guests of the whole inn were troubled, because the shopkeeper went out, a few guys didn't know how to be good, until dawn when we left, the shopkeeper went back, and asked a few goddesses to summon spirits there! ”

Xiao Ru raised her eyebrows and smiled, in fact, she did not believe in ghosts and gods before, as a doctor, and she has studied materialism for so many years, how can she believe in ghosts and gods, but since she has been reborn through the crossing, although Xiao Ru has never seen ghosts and gods, she has never dared to say that there are no ghosts in the world again...... As soon as I looked up, I saw my father-in-law sighing, and I couldn't help but laugh in my heart - "Xianggong, why do I think you seem to be a little regretful...... Could it be that you also want to meet a ghost, preferably a beautiful female ghost, isn't it? ”

Lou Yi reached out and grabbed his daughter-in-law's little hand, pinched the soft and slippery hand in the palm of his hand, and thought, her daughter-in-law doesn't look at it all day long, either in the ground, or in the greenhouse to tinker with medicinal herbs, but this hand is really well maintained, there were still some calluses when I touched it before, but now it is getting more and more smooth, I closed my eyes, but I smiled in my mouth: "To be honest, I have grown so big, I really haven't seen a ghost, I am indeed quite curious, if I can see one or two and see what it looks like, it would be good." ”

Xiaoru smiled, remembering that she had learned a text in junior high school before, what was it called 'Song Dingbo Catching Ghosts', could it be that her father-in-law also wanted to catch a ghost and come back to show off...... "If you can really catch it, I will let Uncle Liu make an iron cage and lock the ghost in it for people to see. ”

The two of them sat on the balcony talking and laughing, although they were all gossip without nutrition, but Xiaoru still felt very comfortable, although this man was not handsome, he was 108,000 miles worse than Ding Feng, but he was very good, he just respected himself, and never put on a big husband's face in front of him, this is the best, women, especially women like themselves, are really lucky to find a husband like Lou Yi.

"Daughter-in-law, look down...... I think our mother has changed a lot...... It's getting more and more like my mother when I was younger. ”

Xiao Ru followed Lou Yi's words, looked down, her mother-in-law was wearing a navy blue new skirt, holding a wooden spoon, was standing among the flowers to water the clusters of yellow chrysanthemums, now life is better, son, daughter-in-law and grandson are around, the old lady is in a good mood, Xiao Ru prescribed her recuperation medicinal diet also has an effect, really looks a lot younger, now she is kind, standing in the garden leisurely, to really have a bit of everyone's bearing...... "Mother's style is not worse than the official wives I have seen, it seems, When my mother used to be a girl, she must have been a very outstanding beauty. ”

Xiaoru remembered her mother-in-law's name - Wei Xueqing, a beautiful name, what kind of flowers do girls have in this era, grass, Zhi, or Shufen, Xiaofang or something, an elegant name like Xueqing must be called by the daughter of the scholarly family - in fact, the name Xueqing is quite ordinary, but Xiaoru, a girl, is short-looking, of course she thinks that her mother-in-law's name is so elegant and beautiful!

Lou Yi nodded and said with a smile: "When my mother was young, she was really beautiful, and in our hometown in Yunnan, it was also unique...... Lou Cheng's old bastard burned Gao Xiang for eight lifetimes before he could marry my mother......"

Xiao Ru listened to Lou Yi's tone with a little resentment, but in the end, it was much calmer, not like before, and she felt uncomfortable even mentioning it...... Obviously, the heartache has healed, which is good, why let a person who doesn't know the so-called spoil his mood and treat him as an outsider, it's just that, there is no need to resent it at all.

The two couples were tired of chatting, and they saw the old man Gongsun Zhi hurriedly walking into the garden, and his mother-in-law greeted him, and the two said a few words, Gongsun Zhi raised his head and shouted in the direction of Xiaoru...... And Lou Yi, you come over too, what happened to the two of you last night, Ding Feng had a nightmare for two hours when he was napping today, and he couldn't wake up......"
